Heart and lungs (心胏: The Baihu tong says: "The heart corresponds to propriety (lǐ); it is the essence of southern fire, red, pointed, and possessing petals like an unbloomed lotus flower." Wang Shuhe's Maijing says: "The heart pairs with the small intestine and large intestine as its viscera; its stored spirit is the shén; its outward manifestation is speech. When the heart is diseased, voice is lost and one cannot speak." The lower character has the fanqie 芳廢. The Baihu tong says: "The lung corresponds to righteousness (yì); it is the essence of western metal, white in colour." Wang Shuhe's Maijing says: "The lung pairs with the bladder as its viscera; its stored spirit is the pò; its outward manifestation is the throat and nose. Hence, when the lung is diseased, the nose does not smell fragrance or stench." The Shuowen says: "Formed with [the semantic element] ròu (肉) and [the phonetic element] zǐ (𠂔); zǐ has the fanqie 肥味." In the sūtra text it is written with shì (市) as 肺, which is vulgar and incorrect).
